(Or in this case the sauce) So the next time you are looking to hire a food truck don’t forget the perfect sauce can make or break a meal, or in some cases an entire event. We’ve put together a list of our favorite food trucks, with the best sauces in the city. Prepare to get messy.

YANKEE DOODLE DANDY’S

Winner winner chicken dinner! When your claim to fame is juicy chicken tenders, you know your going for a dip. Forget the ranch and ketchup, Yankee doodle Dandee’s serves all their fries and tenders with their famous Spirit of ’76 sauce.

JOLLY FAT PIG

Brisket, pork belly, and chorizo oh my… like that’s not enough to keep things interesting. Jolly Fat Pig offers a wide array of homemade sauces so every trip to the truck is a fresh exciting experience. Whatever mood you’re in they’ve got the sauce to suit.

CONEY SHACK

Holy Phuc! When that’s the name of a taco on your menu, you better have the sauce to back it up. We like our beer battered fish tacos drowning in a sea of special sauce, holy phuc indeed…

HOME FRITE

Ok so everyone loves French fries, even people gluten free people love French fries. But any true fry fan knows it’s not so much the fries themselves that make them so great. It’s what we dip them in!! The perfect vehicle for any sauce you fancy, we recommend the truffle.

THE EMPANADA SONATA

Little hand held pockets of amazingness. These empanadas may be filled with the good stuff, but are incomplete without a cannonball into one of The Empanada Sonata’s famous dipping sauces. Siracha aioli, sweet Thai chili, or a swan dive into some chipotle cream, don’t worry you don’t need to choose just one.
